GreenBox ™️

GreenBox ™️, founded in 2021, presents a revolutionary solution for sustainable food storage and preservation with its modular solar-powered cold stations. Extending the shelf life of perishable foods from 2 to 21 days, the company emphasizes accessibility and affordability. By introducing a community storage unit model that alleviates the upfront cost for farmers and eliminates the need for specialized maintenance, GreenBox aims to democratize access to food preservation technology. Moreover, by harnessing solar energy, the company takes a significant step towards environmental sustainability.

With a focus on mitigating food waste and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, GreenBox not only addresses food security but also contributes to poverty alleviation and women empowerment by creating job opportunities. Through strategic partnerships, the company plans to train over 3,000 smallholder farmers and vendors in post-harvest handling and storage, resulting in higher incomes and reduced food losses. Operating from Congo, the impact potential of GreenBox is evident, with plans to establish 10 new sites that could potentially benefit 2,000 individuals, including 1,000 farmers, while saving approximately 22,000 tonnes of food from spoilage annually.
